I have been using this for years during the warmer months, when my skin is a little less dry and likes something a bit lighter but effective. This lotion is creamy, paraben-free, smells pleasantly fresh and not cloying, and lasts all day. It keeps my skin healthy with the vitamin e and it seems to even out the skin on legs a little.

This is another favorite body wash of mine. I just love lathering up with this ctrusy body wash. It moisturized a little, but had a very nice, luxurious lather. It does not strip your skin and kinda wakes you up with a sunny, citrusy blast.

I love St. Ives products so much. They really are a great bargain and well made, high quality products without nasty animal testing and parabens. Impressive, to say the least. This body wash seems too good to be sold in a drugstore! It smells like creamy comfort. A little on a bath pouf goes a long way to feel squeaky clean but wonderfully moisturized. Lovely stuff.

I got this in the Red Wine color, and the color is very similar to the fabulous Benetint, but cheaper on the price. I like the little sponge applicator for the lips. It seems to work better as a cheek stain, though. It seemed to be a little drying to my lips and ended up clinging to patches of dried skin. Ick.

I really like this gel-cream formulation of this eye cream. It seems to just sink right in, and it is nice and satiny. You don't have to wait forever until you can put your makeup on. It seemed to plump up the fine lines and nix any dryness on and under the lids. Plus, it is very gentle and non-irritating to my sensitive eyes. It took care of a little puffiness but I did not see any difference in my dark under eye circles at all. I don't think anything topical other than a good concealer can take care of them. More sleep does!

John Frieda Frizz-Ease Secret Weapon Flawless Finishing Creme
A girl's best friend if you heat style
I have used this product for years and will not stop. This is fantastic for my dry, frizzy, sort of fine hair. I look so much more polished if I smooth this through my hair. I have used it to tame the poofy, puffy hair after blow drying, to smooth the frayed ends of a fresh flat iron job, and to beat the nasty humidity when air drying my hair. Any way you use it, it works so well. It smells pleasant and fruity. My hair seems more moisturized too and I love that it has UV sunscreen in it, really good for colored hair.

I was super impressed by these! I got them on sale at Sephora for $4, and I got this pretty steely grey color that I thought was dark enough to use as eyeliner. Turns out I was right! These cute little sticks have a retractable cream eyeshadow in them. They glide on and really and truly last all day. The grey shade was shimmery and a little silvery. It was very pretty on my brown eyes. Best of all, they stay in place without any raccoon eyes to fix later. Big girls can use this teen/tweenish makeup!

Mmm....I just love this creamy, dreamy body butter to pieces. I love this entire line by the makers of Bliss products! Their adorable names and packaging, e excellent formulas too. This body butter has lovely Shea butter, aloe, rose hips oil and vitamin E to smooth all the rough spots. Makes a dynamite hand cream too, very soothing and moisturized my ratty cuticles. I love the smell, it seems like the Saucy Girl Next Door scent. Kinda clean, kinda sexy. Just right.

It had been ages since my last ghastly zit, so I was not too thrilled when I saw that nasty little mini volcano pop up on my chin not too long ago. I have dry skin, but got a facial from an ecospa and they used this wonderful skin oil blend they made with Shea butter. My skin has a gorgeous rosy glow but then up cropped the little bugger on my chin the next day or two after. It could have been stress or hormones too, of course. I had gone to my dermatologist for my yearly skin check, and she gave me a sample of prescription zit gel that seemed to aggravate the zit. Then I used some Oxy zit cream my hubby had lying around and it sucked too. Then I remembered my green faithful friend from my teens!! I ran to the drug store and got me some at about $5. I washed my face, dabbed some toner on it then just mounded this mask on it and left it on overnight. That zit was packing its bags the very next day. My dear minty-luscious green mask did just the trick!!

I received a deluxe sample of this through my Beauty Insiders membership at Sephora, but I would be even more disappointed if I ponied up the full price for this. I liked the concept of a moisturizing concealer, but the execution was off by a mile. I have had better drugstore concealers, particularly the CG Smoothers one. This not only did not cover my eye circles well, it did not last half a day. Epic fail.
